Even though it's not essentially hard to do. Some might even find it fun to do. The 'Camera Shy' achievement can be rather annoying. Especially when you try it and do a full game run for it, and happened to miss one in chamber 2.

Therefore, I have made a guide for those who need some help with it. Use it if you must, don't read it if you want to do it yourself ^^

You must have noticed the cameras on the walls troughout the game. For those of you who are wondering, you can deattach these from the wall by placing an open portal behind it. GLaDOS won't like it, but don't worry about that.

In total there are 33 camera's to deattach in trough the game. You can't deattach camera's on metal surfaces, or those you find before you get the Portal Device. The first deattachable camera is in test chamber 2

Following is a complete list of deattachable camera's in portal, including location and screenshots I've put exclaimation marks ( ) at the ones that are easy to miss.

Has anyone found an advantage to this?

I know in a certain advanced level, you can use the cameras to your advantage to get through it in only 2 portals

Yeah, i know which certain level you mean ^^

I haven't gone back through and nixed all the cameras, but now that I got Robinson's handy list (screenshots even!), I definitely will. Thanks, dude.

Exactly the same thing happened to me. Why don't acheivements count in commentary mode?

Probably because you're invulnerable

Is this true for HL2 as well? I could have sworn I got killed a bunch of times when I went through that with commentary on. Hm. Maybe I'm crazy.

After all the cameras were down, I went ahead and finished the game (for like the sixth time) and took some Fraps movies.

AND QUIT BUMPING THREADS AGHAGHAGHGAHAG
